【新唐人2013年02月21日訊】美國一家計算機安全公司最近公布了一份調查報告。報告揭示，近年來美國遭受來自中國大陸的網絡黑客襲擊越發嚴重，而位於上海浦東的一支中共秘密部隊，很可能是這一系列襲擊案的幕後黑手。雖然中共軍方對這一指證拒不承認，但外界評論認為，中共當局一直熱衷對外發動網絡攻擊來竊取情報，對內則進行嚴密網絡管制，是公認的「網絡無賴政權」。
美國計算機安全公司Mandiant 2月19號發表的這份報告，長達60頁，詳細分析了近年來美國各行業遭受的網絡襲擊。報告指出，網絡攻擊來自於中國的一個俗稱「註釋組」(Comment Crew)或「上海組」(Shanghai Group)的黑客團體，這一組織的總部位於上海浦東的一幢12層樓。而中共61398部隊恰恰駐紮在這裡。
《紐約時報》中文網報導，61398部隊實際是解放軍總參三部二局，是中國計算機間諜活動的重要組成部分。《維基解密》公開的一份美國國務院電報揭示，美國擔憂61398部隊向政府網站發起攻擊，但出於繼續跟蹤的需要和外交上的考慮，美國政府沒有公開這個問題。
近期，《紐約時報》、《華爾街日報》等美國傳媒機構遭到攻擊之後，Mandiant公司發佈了詳細調查報告，從而使中共黑客部隊被曝光。但中共國防部19號對這一指證進行了否認。
美國「哥倫比亞大學」訪問學者 谷川：「它如果承認的話，那世界上所有的國家就會對它進行譴責。所以它肯定不會承認這樣的網絡攻擊。它肯定說：即使有這些攻擊，也不是軍方支持的。」
報告顯示，自2006年以來，中共黑客組織入侵了美國20個主要領域的將近150個主要機構，並竊取了大量數據。 Mandiant公司追蹤到了其中幾名黑客的入侵過程，發現他們在為中共軍方服務。
報導說，雖然美國政府也有網絡作戰人員，但美國禁止將攻擊性手段用於非軍事目地或竊取公司數據，對他們的行動要求非常嚴格。而相比之下，中共發起的網絡攻擊則無所顧忌，美國各大商業公司、機構都成為襲擊目標，黑客甚至還試圖操縱電網等關鍵基礎設施。
「全球自由信息運動」網站創辦人 張新宇：「那就是鬥爭哲學嘛。它（中共）甚麼東西都不講道理的。槍桿子裡出政權，它是不講道理的。它從來就不按法則的，就按實力，像動物世界以爪牙和拳頭作為標準。」
「全球自由信息運動」網站創辦人張新宇認為，從技術上講，美國一直是互聯網行業的領袖，中共遠不是對手。但一黨獨裁的中共掌控著中國所有資源，為維持政權不倒，一直在互聯網領域投入大量人力、物力。
張新宇：「以前是搞病毒的研究，後來就是怎麼樣來限制老百姓、封網、防火牆這類東西。那當然現在就是搞這些主動進攻的黑客技術。」
2009年12月中旬，至少20家美國公司遭到中共名為「極光行動」的黑客攻擊。谷歌旗下Gmail成主要受害者，知識產權被盜取。此外，黑客還入侵了中國人權活躍人士的電子郵件。
上海維權訪民 瀋佩蘭：「我家的這條網線，他們是一直攻擊的，攻擊很厲害的。網頁打不開，出現亂七八糟的病毒，殺都殺不掉的。」
另據《美國之音》報導，「英國廣播公司(BBC)」駐華記者約翰．蘇德沃斯(John Sudworth)日前試圖到61398部隊駐地附近拍照，但遭到崗哨制止並被短暫扣留。

US Firm: CCP’ Army Behind the Cyber Attacks?
Recently, a US computer security firm released a report.
The report says, cyber attacks aimed at the US,
and coming from Mainland China increased severely.
A Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) secret military unit
in Pudong (Shanghai) is most likely behind the cases.
The CCP military denied the allegations.
However, outsiders commented that externally,
the CCP hacks computers and steals information;
internally, it censors the Internet,
thus gaining the reputation of a “network rogue regime.”
The US computer security firm Mandiant released 60-pages
report on Feb. 19th, analyzing the recent US cyber attacks.
It said cyber attacks came from a group of hackers
known as Comment Crew or the Shanghai Group.
The hackers are located in a 12-story building in Shanghai,
coinciding with the address of military unit code 61398.
The New York Times Chinese version reported, unit 61398
is believed to be the 2nd Bureau of People’s Liberation Army
(PLA) General Staff Department’s (GSD) 3rd Division,
which is known to play a major role in the cyber espionage.
WikiLeaks had released before a cable document
of the US State Council.
It states, the US has worries about unit 61398
attacking government’s websites.
However, considering the need of continuing tracking,
and diplomacy, the US didn’t disclose this problem.
After the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other US
media were attacked, Mandiant released a detailed report.
The report had identified and exposed
the CCP hackers groups.
However, the CCP Defense Ministry denied
these Mandiant’s allegation on Feb. 19th.
Gu Chuan, visiting scholar at Columbia University in US:
“If the CCP admits it, all the countries will condemn it.
Thus, it surely won’t admit cyber attacks. It will instead say:
‘Even if there are such attacks, military won’t support them.’”
The report shows, since 2006, the CCP hackers have stolen
massive quantities of data from more than 150 organizations in 20 major industries.
Mandiant traced several hackers, identifying them
as working for the Chinese military.
The report says, the US government has employed
cyber-crime fighters.
However, the US government is very strict in this regard,
prohibiting using that for non-military purpose or for stealing companies data.
In comparison to this,
the CCP’s cyber attacks are rather irresponsible.
The US companies and organizations became major target;
the hackers even tried to control critical infrastructures, such as the electrical power grid.
Zhang Xinyu, founder of Global Information Freedom
Movement: “This is the philosophy of struggle.
The CCP is unreasonable. ‘Political power grows out of the
barrel of a gun’ [Mao’s quote] – they are unreasonable.
The CCP never follows rules, but force,
it is like in the animal world, using claws and kicks.”
Zhang Xinyu believes, technologically the US has led
the computer industry, so the CCP isn’t a match for them.
However, the one-party dictatorship controls all resources
in China, in order to survive it has put a lot of manpower and resources into the Internet industry.
Zhang Xinyu: “In the past, the CCP studied computer viruses,
to control civilians, and have Internet blockade and a firewall.
Of course now it has engaged in technology
of cyber hacking.”
During mid-December 2009, at least 20 US companies
were targeted by the CCP hackers – “Operation Aurora.”
Google’s Gmail was the main victim,
with some of its intellectual property being stolen.
In addition, hackers also attacked
Chinese activists’ emails.
Shen Peilan, Shanghai petitioner:
“They always attack my home internet, very vicious.
I can’t open the webpage, there were many viruses,
I can’t even remove them.”
Voice of America reported, BBC’s journalist John Sudworth,
based in China, went to unit 61398 to take some photos.
However, he was stopped by the building guards,
and briefly detained.
